Momentum Women™ Honor Victoria Rowell

Throughout the year, CESLIE- THE WOMEN'S NETWORK™ hosts the Company's women's networking organization Momentum Women™ members and honors a woman with the Momentum Award™ who personifies the qualities that set the standard for today's modern woman. In May, during National Foster Care Awareness Month, we were pleased to honor actress, humanitarian, author and artist Victoria Rowell.

For two hours, NYC power women networked, exchanged ideas (and business cards) while enjoying delicious Ravenswood wines selected by Paul Gardner in the absolutely beautiful setting of the internationally famous The World Bar in Trump World Tower. Ceslie introduced the eveningâ€™s honoree, Victoria Rowell, with a gorgeous Tiffany & Company engraved crystal award.

Rowell graciously accepted her award and spoke candidly about her childhood that she chronicles in her best-selling memoir The Women Who Raised Me (William Morrow 2007). The author graciously read passages from her book and through laughter and tears, the women attending stood, cheered and clapped. They were extremely moved by Victoria Rowell, her words, and her presence.
